I would like to add some observations.
What has started in 2008 is just the beginning and we still only scratching the tip of the iceberg, we are not in a crisis but in a system failure.
The present socio-economic system, based on constant growth, expansion, and constant self calculation on the expense of others, has become self destructive since it is unsustainable in a closed, finite system, and we have passed the tipping point in 2008.
Whatever happened since is just a series of desperate cosmetic adjustments, simply deepening the problem instead of solving it, like pumping a terminally ill patient full of morphine.
What is happening now in Europe will appear in the US and other parts of the world very soon due to the inevitable natural laws governing our global, integral system.
Since the US is the epitome of our excessive, overproduction, over consumption lifestyle that is collapsing, they will feel it possibly more than any other country.
On the other hand the foundations, and resources of the US are good, thus there is good base to start recovery from, but only if they understand what went wrong and how we need to adapt to our global, interdependent conditions in order to recover.
And it will be difficult because the new attitude humans need in relation to each other is totally opposite to how Americans viewed themselves and world for decades.
Even in this article the writer is already analyzing how the US can use the global troubles ahead for their own purposes and benefit without any thought of others. This is impossible in our interconnected system.
From now on each and every one of us need to take the whole system into consideration before individual or even national self calculations.
The motivation to do so against our present thinking would come from the full understanding of our 21st century global, integral network, and how we fit into this network.
Thus we need to take into consideration the countless of objective scientific data already surrounding us regarding this.
Otherwise we do not stand a chance.
